[ will say, we expect to remain here
several months, and give the people
OF this section an opportunity of
buying the best and most desirable
cooking apparatus ever offered to
the public (at your own doors). 1
have with me seven double tie inns
and wagons owned by the Com
pany and named by our own Sales
men. We will sell and deliver to
any good party our best family
Range at same price charged at the
Factory in St. Louis. These Ranges
were awarded highest premiums at
the Worlds Fair at New Orleans,
La. Also at three State Fairs and
Expositions at ST. Louis, Mo.
Thousands of them are now in use,
and the demand for them increasing
every year in the South and West.
They are made of the best quality
Of Wrought and MalleabIe Iron,
and SO constructed as to prevent
| house ever being set on fire by them.
Also put together by best quality
OF Norway rivets, thus making it
i'm possible for fire to warp any part
of it, and as to fire cracking anv
part of the Range, that is matter
of impossibility, the fire backs are
the only thing that will burn out,
and they can be ordered from the
Factory at any time with a very
trifling cost. With proper care one
of these Ranges will last family
IS or 80 years. They bake more
uniformly with one third less fuel.
and are easier to manage than any
cooking apparatus now in use.
| Over three thousand of these Ranges
have been sold in North Carolina in
the past two years, and | have yet
to see or hear OF a single complaint
in the newspapers from any person
using them, and IN only tw 0 or three
instances have heard anything
spoken against them by Editors
who We're prejudiced against us,
and [ believe if they had taken the
pains to examine our Ranges, or
asked those using them about them,
they would not have said what they
did. But every right thinking per-

more opposition when first being
introduced ; they also know no one
article will please every body. be-
sides they know envy and jealousy
exist in all sections and among all
classes OF people. There was never
good successful preacher, lawyer,
doctor, editor, merchant, farmer or
mechanic but that had opposition
and found people, no matter where
he went, who envied him and
would try to prevent his succeed
ing. Knowing these things to be
true, we know we are not the ex-
ception to the rule, SO we expect to
find some people where ever we go
that will not patronize us, and
among that class there are 4 fe " who
would do all in their power to in
jure us or prevent us from succeed
ing in our line, but there is one
consolation, and that is this | have
been dealing With the public in
this and similar business for the past
10 years, and have found a great
majority of the people l have had
dealings with honest and honorable
and when they see good thing
and need it they buy it without
consulting smart Alexis.
: OF course we don't expect to sell
everybody Ranges, bat pnc thing
we do expect to do is to remain here
till we give every good man a
chance to see if no. to purchase the
best cooking apparatus in the world
l know the modern plan of julg
ing people is to believe them
rogues and liars till they prove
themselves otherwise This being
the case, am not surprised at some
people Judging US hv this rule.
In conclusion will say, when one
OF my men calls on you, lay YOU
prejudice (ii- you have ANY, aside
and examine the Range carefully
and if you are not convinced it is
worth the price charged for il. don =
